Developer Tools

Controls JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ, WebStorm, and PyCharm to perform automated coding tasks, refactoring, and project management via MCP.

This skill connects Claude Code directly to your JetBrains IDE environment, enabling AI-driven control over IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, and other JetBrains tools. It allows for seamless code navigation, automated refactoring, project building, and run configuration execution directly from your AI agent. By bridging the gap between Claude and your active development environment, it streamlines complex workflows like fixing linting errors, renaming symbols project-wide, and searching through large codebases using the IDE's native indexing and intelligence.
